You aren’t supposed to eat ground beef rare. Steaks you can. If you don’t know your steak is partially ground beef, that’s the issue.

- chii 8y agoisn't burger patties usually eaten medium rare?
- KAMSPioneer 8y agoThey shouldn't be. The USDA FSIS recommends cooking ground products (including LFTB) to an internal temperature of 160F. Eating ground or reshaped meats without cooking to proper internal temperatures can be dangerous. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/safe-food-handling/safe-minimum-internal-temperature-chart/ct_index https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety...
- sp332 8y agoI think I'm missing what you're worried about. The article says that pink slime can be called "ground beef", not that it can be called steak.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoYou are skipping over the end effect. If you think you are buying a steak, but are really buying a steak bits + “ground beef” glue, that’s the problem. IMO, calling it ground beef is very misleading unless you are farmiliar with the processes used.
- KAMSPioneer 8y agoBut LFTB ("ground beef glue") isn't added to steak. It's added to normal, non-finely-textured beef trim before mixing, grinding, and packaging as ground beef. So this product about which everyone is talking cannot be mistaken by anyone for a steak. The finished product looks, tastes, and behaves as ground beef, and has roughly the same food safety concerns as ground beef.
